The survey includes information on programs, courses and faculty in higher education, with emphasis on the graduate level. This survey is partially funded by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (SIGCHI). We have included a broad definition of program to encourage a wide range of possibilities. A program may include any organized set of courses leading to a concentration, certificate or specialized graduate degree in HCI. However, even if your college or university only teaches one graduate course we'd still like to hear from you. Your contribution will help build a worldwide network of HCI Educators. The intended users of the survey will be students looking for graduate degree programs with an emphasis in HCI. Educators also will find the survey useful in helping to share information about who they are and what they teach in HCI. A file will be created for each ACADEMIC UNIT responding to the survey. Files will be combined together to produce a directory of programs, courses and faculty in HCI. We will maintain updates to the files provided that any change information is sent to us by a contact person from your academic unit. It is important that each ACADEMIC UNIT select ONE PRIMARY CONTACT PERSON to communicate with us. This person will be responsible for coordinating the collection of data about courses and faculty within the ACADEMIC UNIT. A copy of the formatted information will be sent back to the PRIMARY CONTACT PERSON for verification. If you believe someone else within your ACADEMIC UNIT would be more appropriate for this task, then please forward this e-mail request to him or her, or let us know and we will forward the message. Information about the survey is divided into four parts: A. Sample Survey - a sample survey filled out as a model B. Notes on Survey - annotations for filling out the survey C. Blank Survey - the actual survey to be filled out and e-mailed back D. Excerpted Survey - on faculty and course data only- you may use this last part to send out to other faculty in your academic unit. It is a self-contained e-mail message.

NOTES ON SURVEY ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS It will be easiest to collect information from all participating colleges and universities if everyone follows a few simple guidelines: * Format lists like this paragraph with a hanging label, using spaces to even out the indentation; this allows us to automatically format the text without you needing to learn formatting commands. Use lists for interests, references, facilities, contacts, readings, tools, etc., as shown in the sample survey. * If you are not sure of an item, you may leave it blank. However, the more complete the survey the more helpful it will be for all concerned. * Append your responses to the blank survey provided in Part C. In this way, the field names will remain consistent. * The %-sign before the field name is necessary. Spaces or tabs after the name are optional and can be used for alignment. Please DO NOT rename fields as they will be used as identifiers for automated processing. * Please DO NOT insert blank lines between a field. * DO insert blank lines between groups of repeated fields on faculty or courses. Make sure that the section identifier is present. * Please do not remove the Section Identifiers when answering the survey. * Try to avoid adding a prefix to your entire answer (e.g. ">") because your intended formatting may be stripped off by automatic processing tools. Send your responses and any questions to: educhi@cis.ohio-state.edu NOTES ON FIELDS %SECTION Each record of related information is given a section identifier: * Academic Unit * HCI Program * HCI Faculty * HCI Courses These are used to identify the type of record; they should be copied as part of repeated records (i.e., Faculty and Courses).

How did things go with presenting the survey? I have been responding to the mail to educhi@cis.oio-state.edu, so there is nothing to be done for mail you have received. I think a good next step might be to write a guide to the reports, focusing on who might use them and how. For example: Students - who is interested in X? - what are the pubs of potential advisors? - who do I contact about applying? Educators - what texts are being used? - what tools are being used and how? - what educators are near me? Publishers - what do educators think about the texts they have used? - what new texts would publishers like to see? - who might be a good reviewer for a proposed/recent text? A guide to applying to programs might be part of the students' section. It might include: * preparatory coursework * choosing potential programs * finding and reading papers by potential advisors * writing a statement of purpose * ... you get the idea It might make sense to have HCI education sessions / workshops at conferences like the Computer Science Conference, Human Factors, and so on. In short, I think it will be possible to organize a variety of programs for different audiences around the survey and its results. I suspect that it will become important to produce typeset-quality reports to send to departments: * survey respondents would like them to show to their chairs, deans, ... to make it clear that HCI education is for real * survey non-respondents to increase the priority of responding * government agencies for potential funding of work in education I will start to work on the macros to generate pretty reports. All for now.

Dov, I'm not sure what "'home institutions' of the HCI entry" means, but I think the reports contain enough redundant information to get to this information. There is currently not any index of programs by hom department, primarily because there is so much diversity in department names, particularly computer science. People can always grep. We do not have much response from Management schools. One benefit of presenting the HCI Education survey in Cleveland would be to serve the HF-IS community as a repository for information. MIT Sloan is the only official entry, but the Computer Science entry from Michigan includes management. I think the Boston Univ.

HCI Education Survey Gary Perlman Jean Gasen The Ohio State University Virginia Commonwealth University Computer & Information Science Information Systems Research Institute Columbus, Ohio, 43210 USA Richmond, Virginia, 23284 USA perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu jgasen@cabell.vcu.edu +01-614-292-2566 +01-804-367-7034 Introduction. The HCI Education Survey contains information about programs, faculty, and courses with an emphasis on Human-Computer Interaction. The goal of the Survey is primarily to provide prospective students (particularly graduate students) information about educational opportunities, and secondarily to provide HCI educators information about other HCI educators. Unlike some other education surveys, we wanted the HCI Education Survey to be easily updated and accessed primarily in electronic form. The cost of printing and mailing the survey and the widespread availability of electronic mail and personal computers made the collection and dissemination of an electronic report preferred over print media. Survey Administration. Before sending out the survey, we studied other surveys from The Human Factors Society (1991), The Software Engineering Institute (1991), Computer Graphics (Ferguson, ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 23:4, 243-272, 1989), and a previous survey on HCI (Mantei & Smelcer, ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 16:2, 9-43, 1984). We developed categories of information we wanted to collect from people teaching HCI-related courses. We field-tested the draft survey and made some revisions and sent the final survey to about 50 known educators in HCI. Survey Respondents. As of 93-6-13, the following have responded to the survey, representing: 65 programs, 157 faculty, and 133 courses. Univ. of Alabama, Computer Science Bowling Green State Univ., Computer Science Bond Univ., Information & Computing Sciences Brunel University, Computer Science Brigham Young Univ., Computer Science Univ. of Calgary, Computer Science Univ. of Canberra, Information Sciences & Engineering Carnegie Mellon Univ., Computer Science Carnegie Mellon Univ., Department of Design Univ. of Colorado at Boulder, Computer Science Columbia Univ., Computer Science Drexel Univ., Information Studies Georgia Institute of Technology, Computing Univ. of Glasgow, Computer Science George Mason Univ., Info. & Software Systems Eng.

Engineering Virginia Commonwealth Univ., Information Systems Univ. of Virginia, Computer Science Virginia Tech., Computer Science Vrije Univ., Computer Science Univ. of Waikato, Computer Science Univ. of Washington, Computer Science & Eng. Worcester Polytechnic Inst., Computer Science Wichita State Univ., Psychology Univ. of York, Psychology Survey Reports. The results were checked for consistency and completeness, and from the data, several reports were developed: The Program Report contains the program contact person (name, email, phone, and fax), the degrees offered, the focus, facilities, and faculty (name and email) for each unit (e.g., school or department) at each institution. The Faculty Report contains the faculty name, degree, email and phone, interests and publications for each faculty at each institution. The Course Report contains the title, instructor, text and tools used, and course description for each course taught at each institution. Other Reports include a list of contact names/email, a list sorted by region, and possibly others. All report file names end with '.rpt'. CONTRIBUTING TO THE SURVEY: To create or modify an entry for an academic unit in the HCI Education Survey, send a mail message to educhi@cis.ohio-state.edu. Detailed instructions and an electronic form will be sent to you. Please do not submit data without contacting us first. ACCESSING THE SURVEY DATA: There are several ways to get an electronic copy of the Survey results: Anonymous FTP (file transfer protocol), Email Service, and Floppy Disk. Internet/Anonymous FTP Access: To access the HCI Education Survey internet users can use FTP (file-transfer-protocol) to copy files and programs to their machines. See the file named README for more information about the contents of files and for information about how to contact publishers of the works. To log in to the archive machine, use the login name: anonymous and provide your internet account name as your password. The messages provided by ftp are cryptic; many users can not distinguish between positive feedback and messages about unrecoverable errors, so ignore them and plod along. In the following example, where much of the output from ftp is left out, the following conventions are used. $ is your system's prompt text after # is a comment you type in text after the : and the > ftp> is the prompt from the file transfer program $ mkdir educhi # make a directory to keep your copy $ cd educhi # set transfer directory before ftp $ ftp archive.cis.ohio-state.edu # to reach our archive (128.146.8.52) Name (...): anonymous # user logs in with standard anon ftp name Password: yourname@yoursite # use your name and site for identification ftp> cd pub/hci/Education # go to HCI Education directory ftp> dir # to get a listing of what's there ftp> get README # to retrieve a file named README ftp> prompt # to toggle (turn off) interactive prompting ftp> mget *.rpt # retrieve all report files ftp> mget *.dat # retrieve all raw data files ftp> mget * # retrieve all files ftp> quit # to leave ftp when done Electronic Mail Service: We can send the survey results via email. Send your request for files to educhi@cis.ohio-state.edu. A plain text version of what you are reading is available as the file README. Other files include data files for each respondent and report files. A request for everything will take up about 750 Kbytes. Floppy Disk: Users who do not have internet/ftp or electronic mail access can request Macintosh or DOS floppies by sending a letter and a pre-addressed mailing label to: The HCI Education Survey, Computer Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1277 USA. Printed Copies: You'll have to come up with a good reason why you can not accept any of the above formats. Send it to the above address and we will send you a printed report. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: Partial support for the Survey was provided by The Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Human Computer Interaction (ACM SIGCHI). Additionally, Ohio State University and Virginia Commonwealth University have provided support for the project. Finally, the Project gratefully acknowledges the assistance of Tom Hewett, Gary Strong, and Marilyn Mantei. We would also like to thank all those individuals who took the time to respond to our requests for survey data. Their responses are helping to build a database of HCI Education information that will be shared around the world. Questions/Comments? Send email to educhi@cis.ohio-state.edu.

If you think one or more modules in a course are relevant to HCI, then describe the whole course in one entry and the HCI details in the description. I realize the British and American systems differ, so perhaps you should look at the existing UK entries to see how they handled the issue. In the US, a student takes 3-5 courses per 2-3 terms per year. I think that in the U.K., a course is more like a course of study, which corresponds to a program here. (Please verify or refute this -- perhaps it should be in the instructions to survey repondents.) If our course corresponds to your notion of a module, then simply write a description of each module.

So there is not much work here. Perhaps when I get to the typeset version, you can handle some production and mailing. Actually, now that I think of it, there is a job I said I would do but have not had time to get to: We need a list of contact people (e.g., newsletter editors and/or presidents) to send info on the survey. Perhaps you could develop a press release package with blurbs of 25, 50, 100, 500 words and then send it to all concerned.

This is a valid criticism, and one that I need to think about. I think the way to deal with it is to provide a generous set of indexes: city, state, country, other name. Perhaps these should be mixed in one index, or perhaps they should be separate, I am unsure. These are easy to generate, so I will play with the idea for a bit.

For Germany this will be Juergen Ziegler at IAO Stuttgart. He edits the Software-Ergonomie letter. Perhaps we should produce an article for the GI journal Informatik-Spektrum. I will talk with Ziegler and especially with H J Bullinger about it. He is chairing the TC Ergonomics in the GI (Gesellschaft fuer Informatik) till Oct. 15, then I will take over the task. But I have another question: would you be interested to become member of IFIP WG 13.1 ? I have already put you on the Cc-list for mailing. I append the "aims" of the wg. Your interest and your expiriences would be very valuable for the WG. If you are interested, please send a short vita. Then I can send a letter to all members, if they agree with the nomination. You will then be appointed by the Chairman of TC 13 Brian Shackel. Jean G can tell you more about us...... She became officially appointed this summer. Or Tom Hewett, who was one of the founders.

Background In a considerable number of member countries of IFIP many topics of HCI have been under research during the last two decades. The disciplines have reached notable success in developing new methods, tools and standards for analysing the interaction of humans with technical systems and for designing, developing and evaluating the human-computer interface of complex systems. Although curriculum development necessarily lags behind the progress of Research and Development, we believe it timely to begin a Working Group on HCI curriculum development, because a) there is now sufficient knowledge and skills, b) there is increasing interest, as the INTERACT workshop showed, c) the number of courses in HCI has grown rapidly during the last two years. Especially the momentum, which the conference workshop at the INTERACT'90 Conference in Cambridge has provided, ought to our opinion not to be lost. This leads to the proposal to establish a Working Group on Education in HCI and HCI Curriculum under TC 13 of IFIP, as suggested unanimously by the participants of the conference workshop on Education in HCI at the IFIP INTERACT '90 Conference. 2. Aims The aims of the Working Group are as follows: - to enhance international collaboration in disseminating knowledge about this rapidly developing and important subject, - to improve HCI education at all levels of higher education, - to coordinate and unite efforts to enhance the development of HCI curricula, - to recommend fundamental structures for curricula and course materials and for their adaption to the various national educational systems, - to advance international recognition of qualifications in this field, and to promote the teaching of HCI. 3. Scope and Tasks The scope of the Working Group will build upon existing work in IFIP member countries to include: - the evaluation of the needs of industry to enhance the qualifications in HCI, based on the societal objectives to improve the work environment, - the collation of existing curricula, course literature and other relevant materials developed by member societies or by institutions who are contributing to their work, - the international exchange of information about curricular aspects of HCI and their further development, - the design of recommendations and guidelines for HCI curricula at different levels of higher education and for the adaption of the guidelines to the cultural situation, on which the respective education system is based. =========================================================================== From perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu Tue Oct 12 07:41:18 1993 Received: from alpha.Xerox.COM by news.cis.ohio-state.edu (5.61-kk/5.911008) id AA25733; Tue, 12 Oct 93 07:37:45 -0400 Received: from Minos.PARC.Xerox.xns by alpha.xerox.com via XNS id <11869>; Tue, 12 Oct 1993 04:37:34 PDT Received: from moose.cis.ohio-state.edu ([128.146.41.15]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <11845>; Tue, 12 Oct 1993 04:36:58 PDT Received: by moose.cis.ohio-state.edu (5.61-kk/5.911008) id AA21105; Tue, 12 Oct 93 07:36:55 -0400 Apparently-To: educators.chi@xerox.com X-Ns-Transport-Id: 08002008D0FD0057441D Date: Tue, 12 Oct 1993 04:36:55 PDT From: Gary Perlman Subject: HCI EdNews: SIGCHI Curriculum Report To: educators.chi@xerox.com Reply-To: perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu Message-Id: <9310121136.AA21105@moose.cis.ohio-state.edu> Status: RO ============================================================================== Occasional Announcement #1 HCI Education News October 12, 1993 ============================================================================== Since the efforts of Rodney Fuller at Clairmont Graduate School, the SIGCHI Educators.chi@xerox.com mailing list has passed 250 people!

There are now several good books on the market. Here are my personal recommendations, but note that the choice really depends on what kind of course you want to teach. 1. Human-Computer Interaction, Dix, A and Finlay, J and Abowd, G and Beale, R, 1993, Prentice Hall This is the closest I have found to a classical "textbook" on HCI. It covers lots of ground, and you can pick and choose what you want to teach. I found most of it very accessable, and I plan to use it as the course text next term. 2. Design of everyday things, Don Norman. The title says it all. This book is cheap (< $20 canadian), and is very easy to read. It points to fundamental aspects of design that *any* designer should now about. If your course emphasises design, have it on the highly recommended list (or get them to buy it; as I said, its cheap!). Students like it. But its not a text... 3. Designing the User Interface, Shneiderman. If I were teaching a course to interface programmers/designers in industry, this is one of the books I would use. It is very pragmatic, and provides excellent discussions of dialog styles used in interfaces. I have also used it as an academic text, and it works fine as long as you balance it out with material from other books. 4. Usability Engineering, Nielson Another superb book, useful for teaching undergrads and industry. It really is about usability engineering, and how it fits into a software engineering program. I find I dip into it heavily for my course lecture notes. You will probably have to supplement it with other books/papers if you want to go into other aspects of HCI. This should at least be on the recommended list. 5. Readings in HCI, Baecker/Buxton (soon to be Baecker/Grudin/Buxton/Greenberg, 2nd Edition). Because I am involved in this book, I am slightly biased. However, I do know the papers that will be in it! The book contains an excellent set of recent research papers on all aspects of HCI. Its strength is that it covers much of what is in the ACM CHI Curriculum, and its material covers core HCI as well as advanced topics. The HCI literate teacher who wants to meld their own course (rather than a read along with the book course) will find almost all the material they need here in a handy source. It is good for undergrad and grad level, and excellent for courses that have students do specific research investigations. The catch is that the 2nd edition is not out yet :-) 6. User Interface Design, Thimbleby. This book is a must read for all people interested in HCI research. Its strength is that the ideas presented in it go beyond technology. It is not about "what is hot and what is not", but rather it lays an excellent foundation for thinking about HCI. I predict that this is one of the few HCI books that will not get dated over time. There are more books, but the ones above are what I tend to keep hand when I prepare for my course. _____________________________________________________ Dr Saul Greenberg (saul@cpsc.ucalgary.ca) Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta CANADA T2N 1N4 Phone: (403) 220-6087 Fax: (403) 284-4707 -- _____________________________________________________ Dr Saul Greenberg (saul@cpsc.ucalgary.ca) Department of Computer Science, University of Calgary Calgary, Alberta CANADA T2N 1N4 Phone: (403) 220-6087 Fax: (403) 284-4707 From math.ohio-state.edu!news.acns.nwu.edu!uicvm.uic.edu!ksteiner Mon Mar 28 20:00:58 EST 1994 Article: 8083 of comp.human-factors Path: cis.ohio-state.edu!math.ohio-state.edu!news.acns.nwu.edu!uicvm.uic.edu!ksteiner Nntp-Posting-Host: ice8.eecs.uic.edu Date: Mon, 28 Mar 1994 12:45:20 +0000 From: ksteiner@eecs.uic.edu (Karl Steiner) Newsgroups: comp.human-factors Followup-To: comp.human-factors Distribution: world Subject: TIP List (Long) Message-ID: Organization: ICE Lab Lines: 351 Status: RO The following is the Spring '94 posting of the Theses in Progress List for the HCI field.

Cc: educhi@cis.ohio-state.edu Status: RO We can think about adding fields over the summer. We can certainly continue ftp access, but WWW access is becoming more popular in leaps and bounds. I asked HCI Bibliography registered users who used WWW: 67 yes 2 no 6 plan to soon Although that a not-so-random-sample of 76 out of 516 users (15%). The other 85% did not respond. Updates via the WWW have security problems that I do not want to deal with. The Stanford pages are still there, although I do not know if they are updated. I assume not. It is relatively easy to generate HTML versions of the pages, but I would want to wait until WWW links to home pages were added. I'll be at CHI. I am giving two tutorials, so I had better be there. A few weeks ago, my half-day deal on teaching UI development to software engineers had 55 people in it. This is even more than the last time I did it. This is all a mystery to me as it is obvious that all I am going to do is provide them with pointers to stuff I've already pointed to in WWW pages. > Well, I really fell off on this one! I am really sorry. I do want to >see an update. I think it is now very appropriate for an added field for www >URL's. > Do you think it should still be updated via ftp, rather than through >the Web?
